Malakai Black’s AEW Contract Not Expiring Anytime Soon

Malakai Black has been a fixture on the AEW roster for over two years, patiently awaiting his moment to shine as a singles star. However, recent revelations about his contract status have brought some unexpected twists.

Despite a temporary hiatus due to a minor calf tear and knee hyperextension, Black made a triumphant return in October of last year, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with as part of The House of Black faction in AEW.

News circulated that Black’s contract was nearing its expiration, sparking speculation about his future in the promotion. However, during a recent edition of Fightful’s Q&A Podcast, Sean Ross Sapp disclosed that Black’s contract won’t be up in July as originally anticipated, as AEW has added some extra time to his deal.

“I asked about it this week and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be up in July before the options hit. I think there was a little bit of time added to it,” Sapp revealed.
